The bacon and egg rolls were beautiful and tomato relish delicious. Pot of Lemongrass and ginger tea was nice and refreshing. The premises are eclectic, rustic, and have aged well. (Came here when the Cafe first opened when family lived in Howlong years ago). Nice touch to have live music

A little hidden gem in a small country town. Young Zac set a standard of customer service that is not always provided these days. Very impressive young man who is an asset to the business. The coffee was great & the food was good. We frequented the cafe twice in our overnight stay in the area & would happily go back again.

The first time I visited was an aberration due to a understandable mistake with table number missing due to two separate orders for three people. Due to the high rating I chose not to lower it! The recent visit matched the high rating In all facets of hospitality. Food, decor, coffee (Bonsoy) & service. The decor internally & externally is eclectic to say the least! Love the whole deal - thank you very much team! ⭐

The better half and I had brunch here this morning. These guy's advertise they do large bacon and egg rolls. Me, being pretty partial to bacon, thought this sounds too good. We both ordered a b&e roll and an iced Latte each. The rolls were a good size and the Latte was very good. I don't usually do sauce with my bacon and egg, but the relish on the roll wasn't overpowering. The better half couldn't finish off her roll. I was happy to help her out . Great service, a very cheery bunch. I highly recommend 9/10

This is the best thing in Howlong I think. This gorgeous little cafe is awesome. The iced chocolate was sensational. The customer service was friendly and authentic. The pricing was very reasonable. Inside or outdoor seating. I had a home made muffin which was yum and my friends had breakfast and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend if you are in or around Howlong.
